Alex Kubricky's Story

Alex woke up still drowsy and got out of her bed. She walked by the foot of her bed and saw two cat ears. So she rustled her cats head. "Morning Blackie." She walked into the bathroom and washed her face. She brushed her teeth and took a quick shower. She wrapped a towel around her waist and around her hair. Alex was thinking about her dream it was a odd dream but before she could only remember little parts of it. She walked out of the bathroom and back into her room. The blankets were messed up and a large lump was formed. She shrugged and started to get dressed.

She buttoned her pants but then she felt the presence of someone behind her. She turned around to see a boy in her room. "Oh my god!!" She screamed at first she was going to run but then she ended up running at him. She punched him in the stomach and lied him on her bed. She seemed to knock the wind out of him. "Who are you!" She grabbed the bat from the side of her bed and was ready to swing at him. Her dog ran in and looked at the boy. Normally he growled at any stranger but her just looked at the boy and walked away. "Who are you?" She lowered her bat and seemed more curious. She noticed his tail and ears. "Blackie?"

"Mmnnn..." Fluffy moaned in his sleep, completely unaware that his body had changed. Or, rather, after waking up the night before, he completely forgot all about it when he had gone back to sleep. "Dee...lemme sleep...." Sleepily, he lifted up a hand to try to swat away the hand that was shaking him, only to give up half-heartedly. Then, his eyes fluttered open. As his eyes focused on his owner, he lifted up a paw to scratch the back of his head only to find that his 'paw' was a human hand.

Fluffy jumped straight out of his owner's bed, the covers falling off of him as he began to freak out. His ears started twitching, his tail was whipping to and fro, and he began to cry.

"Dee, what happen? Why am I this? Put it back!" Fluffy was scared, cold, and hungry. He didn't really understand what was going on- all he remembered was going to sleep as a cat, then waking up as a....

"What am me, Dee? I look like you now...am I you?"




"Morning Blackie."

If there was something Blackie loved more than anything, it was mornings. He always looked forward to the usual rustle on the head, since it was usually one of the only times he'd actually be petted instead of the dog. As his owner went into the bathroom, he opened his eyes and focused on waking up. However, he failed, and fell back asleep for a few moments more.

He woke up when he heard the bathroom door open, and got up and stretched. As he looked at himself, he was a little surprised. He had opposable thumbs! It was a miracle! Now his quest for world domination could begin....if he had such a quest in mind. Instead, he looked over at his owner. If he had hands like a human, and the body of a human, then that would mean he could talk like a human, right?

He would have words with her. Oh, yes. He was going to tell her what he thought of that damn dog and her preference to it.

Blackie puffed out his chest like some oh-so-high-and-mighty being, ready to let loose, when suddenly she turned around.

"Oh my god!!"

The next thing Blackie knew, his owner ran at him and hit him in the stomach, hard. "Oof!" Blackie gasped as all the air went right out of him.

"Who are you!"

Blackie was simply too winded to answer. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the dog shamble in. After Blackie glared at him like he usually did, the dog simply walked away.

"Who are you?"

Blackie's tail twitched in annoyance. Who do you think? He told her mentally. He would have growled at her if he could.

"Blackie?"

DING DING DING! Let's see a prize for our winner! Blackie thought sarcastically. Despite his rather rude thoughts, Blackie simply nodded, then, seeing how her guard was down, he took his chance. He grabbed her by the shoulders and threw her to the side, making sure she landed safely on her bed. Then, he rolled over and repeatedly poked her in the side of her face, glaring at her.

"What. Kind of. Owner. Hits. Their pet." Still a bit winded, Blackie spoke abruptly. "It's. Me. You. Damnable. Woman." He poked her with each word, as if maybe he could poke the recognition into her. His ears twitched.

Alex just stared at him all he did was nod. What a stupid cat. At least that didn't change. She was about to say something but then she was flipped over onto her bed. She was shocked! All of the sudden she was being poked in the face. She thought it was very strange she just stared at him. Could this really be my cat?

"What. Kind of. Owner. Hits. Their pet." Still a bit winded, Blackie spoke abruptly. "It's. Me. You. Damnable. Woman."

Yeah that's my cat... She stood up and dusted herself off. "What happened to you?" She helped him off the bed. She grabbed some old cloth. "I know they might be a little girly but you are a cat." She just always thought that cats were girls and dogs were boys even when they aren't. She sat in a chair across from him. "Ok so I don't know really what to say. Yesterday you were my annoying cat. Now your my annoying human?"

Alex walked over to Blackie and poked his ear. All of the sudden a huge smile appeared on her face. She sat next to him and put her arm around him. "You and me Blackie we are gonna get a lot closer! Now that your human you can do all sorts of activities with me. We can run, play catch, go swimming." She hugged him tightly. "This is the best thing that has happened to you ever!" She let go of him and stood up. "Alright well I'm used to you being human already so now I'm gonna make some breakfast." She went to the kitchen and started to make some eggs. Natures protein food. Eggs were Alex's favorite food and they were so easy to prepare!

Hm other cats oh well. Alex was getting a bit irritated with his insults. He kept bugging her while she was cooking she made three eggs for her, Blackie and Pudding her dog. She turned away from Blackie and scrapped his egg onto his plate then she scrapped it onto hers. She whistled and Pudding came trotting in she threw the egg in the air he caught it and ran into a different room to finish it. After putting the frying pan in the sink she looked up at Blackie to see how bad he looked in her cloth. "Oh Blackie we are gonna need to get you some new cloth."

She sat down and salted her egg "Oh yeah just call me Alex not woman. Or should I call you cat instead of Blackie." She smiled and took a bite out of her egg. After she finished with her egg she poured some water in two glasses and gave one to Blackie. "Drink up we got a run already." She grabbed a small sack witch she carries peanuts, water and money. "Alright we are gonna go to the store and get you some good cloth. Maybe I could bring Pudding too if you don't mind?" She opened the front door and put on her cap "Alrighty Blackie it's just down a block or two."

Fluffy

"Calm down. Breathe in...breathe out. I think you've been exploring somewhere you shouldn't have. You're not me...you're not even completely human. C'mon."

Dela's gentle words calmed Fluffy down considerably. He stopped crying, although he still sniffled from time to time. As Dell put the blanket around him again, Fluffy rubbed up against her affectionately like he always did whenever he was near her and made a purring sound.

"We're going to find you some clothes, then find you a mirror, and then you're going to tell me what you've done in the last few days."

"Food?" Fluffy asked tentatively. His stomach growled, and Fluffy kept a blank look on his face as he followed his owner wherever she went. "Kitties and me...mew...purple stuff....meow...." As Fluffy tried to explain himself, for he remembered where he went the night before (but not when he turned into a human), he found himself getting frustrated. There were some words in the human language he simply didn't know. His lack of knowledge annoyed him greatly.

"We drank it. Next thing, meow meow meow! Me like you!" Fluffy was just a kitten, yes, but he wasn't exactly dumb. He knew that being inept at speaking the human language made him sound stupid, and he hated it.

Blackie

When Blackie was handed his food, he scarfed it down like there was no tomorrow. He wouldn't admit it straight out, but he actually really liked Alex's cooking. He did say between bites, however, "So good." It was mumbled, but definitely loud enough to hear, just barely.

"Oh yeah just call me Alex not woman. Or should I call you cat instead of Blackie."

When she said this, Blackie glared at her a little bit, then replied, "Well, maybe I would call you Alex if you would call me Kuro. I hate the name Blackie..." Blackie huffed a little bit, then drank the water he was given. At first, he lapped at it, then figured out that he could just drink it.

"Alright we are gonna go to the store and get you some good cloth. Maybe I could bring Pudding too if you don't mind?"

As soon as the dog was mentioned, Blackie gave her another glare and had a pouty look on his face. However, he simply could not deny his owner anything. Whether wanted to admit it or not, he actually loved Alex (well, in the way cats love their owners). She was always so energetic, which Blackie liked. The one thing he had a problem with...

"I guess that damn dog can come. It's not like I care." Blackie sighed, rolling his eyes. He was lying, of course, but he hated seeing a sad look on his owner's face. So she liked the dog better. So what? He totally didn't care. He wasn't jealous or anything, of course not, who would think that? It wasn't like he wanted to be the one petted and played with and loved on and and and....

Shaking his head, as if by doing so the thoughts might fly out, Blackie got up from the table and followed Alex out the door. As they went to where they were going, Blackie was constantly distracted by all the sights and sounds. He was even too curious to be bitter about anything as he sometimes asked what something was or what the human word for something was.

Alex had the dog leash wrapped around her hand twice. She looked back at Blackie he was keeping up fairly well. He probably would be right next to her if he wasn't busy looking at the birds. "Hey Blac.. I mean Kuro, do all cats have names and humans just change them?" She looked ahead towards the store she looked back at Blackie still looking around she slowed down so she was next to him. "Alright so here's the deal I don't want people to freak out so I want you to wear this hat." She pulled out a baseball cap from her sack and put it on his head. "Sorry but it's not normal for a person to have cat ears." She looked back at his tail. "I don't know how your gonna hide that thing though."

They arrived at the store she walked Blackie to the corner with the Men cloth. She looked around she had no idea what would fit him and she wasn't going to help him change. "Hey Blackie oh I mean Kuro just stay there I'm going to find some one to help you." She went looking around for someone to help her. She saw a tall man just walk in he was wearing a uniform so she assumed that he worked there. "Hi excuse me I uh have a 'new' roommate and I was wondering if you could help him get some cloth." She didn't wait for a answer she grabbed his hand and lead him back to Blackie. She started to think to herself 'I hope he can't tell that he's a cat. I don't know how to explain that. She gave a friendly smile at both of them. "Oh yeah my names Alex by the way nice to meet you uhh Darren. At least that's what your name tag says your name is." She smiled and looked back at Blackie with a smile.

Darren walked without really look at the path he was taking, his mind was in his apartment where his cat Mint who apparently had become a ten years old girl was left by herself, now that he can't see her once again started to doubt about everything had happened, shook his head, made no sense to keep denying it was best to try to solve the problem looking for more information and returning things to what they were.

The future didn't look very bright if he had to live with a girl who had the mentality and behavior of the little Mint definitely wouldn't be good for his heart, he stopped because wasn't sure if Mint would stay watching TV so the best course of action was to inform at work that couldn't go and return to watch her, but while was thinking about it realized he had reached his workplace: a store, sighed and entered, is a strange place to work for someone who hates interact with other humans but his work is mainly focused on the storages looking for products that were sold in the store and stuff, a work without much interaction comfortable for someone like Darren

He put on his uniform consisting of a blue shirt with a nametag and began to work this day he had to carry a box to the clothing section and give it to another employee it was rather easy to take the box deliver it and go back to the storage, he was about to return when a girl approached him for advice, Darren was about to reject her but she dragged him to the place where was her friend, he wasn't sure if it was male or female but assumed that was male because they were in that section.

"Oh yeah my names Alex by the way nice to meet you uhh Darren. At least that's what your name tag says your name is." She smiled and looked back at Blackie with a smile.

Darren didn't smile back instead gave her a cold look, first of all it wasn't his job to help customers and secondly I had to admit that his fashion sense wasn't the best so he wasn't able to advise someone, "Find someone else," he said dryly, took a last look at the boy and saw that something moved, Mint had something similar, Darren blinked a few times, that would be too coincidental and also this boy didn't look like someone ten years old but he had to confirm it anyway, took a few steps and grab the boy's hat and there were: cat ears, what he saw before was his tail, "Are you Fluffy?" Darren asked the cat boy that was the only name he could remember, the one who drank the weird liquid.
